"Malleus is finding out what it means to be human through Yuu, his gremlin of a friend, in a world where he's thought to be a 'monster' and then he'll inevitably fall in love with them"
and never: "YUU HAS A CRUSH ON SILVER"
Hear me out!!
I was looking through all of Silver's voice lines and I noticed that almost every time Yuu interacts with Silver, there has to be a mention of him looking good, fixing up his clothes, etc. implying (to me at least) that Yuu actively seeks out conversation with him in some way?
I could make a whole fic about them just using Silver's lines from his cards and events and the main storyline I kid you not π
For instance, I don't have these cards but:
In his Dorm Uniform card, he says: "Hm? My hat's crooked? Thanks for straightening it out."
In his Birthday Jacket card, it's: "What's the centerpiece of my look today? I haven't thought about it, but I guess it'd be my white sneakers. They're easy to move in too."
Halloween card: "Ah, you straightened my hat. The horns look wrong if they're even slightly askew, so thank you."
Platinum Jacket: "What a dazzling outfit. I suppose when I wear it I must be ALL silver... It looks good, you think? I'm glad."
And then we get these gems, which show Silver slowly but surely opening up to Yuu:
Birthday Bloom: "Ah, it's you. Perfect timing. Why don't we head to the balcony so I can introduce you to the birds?"
Platinum Jacket: "Oh dear, I'm getting sleepy... You'll let me sleep on your shoulder? No need; if you could just...shake me...awake... *snore*"
And then!! You can also see Silver sometimes actively seeking them out in situations! cause we went from him thinking Yuu is odd:
To him complimenting them back (which I know everyone in the cast does but stay with me here):
and just being so??? idek the word? vulnerable? soft? In his masquerade groovy line, he just drags Yuu to the dance floor π₯Ή
In the main story line, he says this:
Which took me out because what do you mean it's just us? Grim is right there! lmao π
Plus!! In his Dawn Armor card, he's so frickin' sweet! I thought Kalim was the underrated one but noooo we literally have a prince charming in the cast how have I been so blind all this time π
Yeah I would assume you'd feel closer to Yuu, you literally had them in a chokehold while travelling through dreams π
This scene below made me melt when I first read it, it's one of my favorites. I know Silver is just expressing thanks and sharing a moment of vulnerability, but also add on to the fact that this is a boy who is so cool, calm, and collected, that even he couldn't admit to his own father that he didn't want him to leave school.
I'd be asking Lilia for his son's hand in marriage after the whole Book 7 fiasco just because of this line π
Delulu aside & I know this isn't an otome game but I lowkey feel that out of all the cast members, (Malleus "The Child Of Man Is Mine" Draconia included), Silver is the one that I can see Yuu crushing on. Hard.
Am I supposed to believe that this isnt an invitation for a date?? Not to mention the many times he has invited Yuu to work out lol is that his way of getting to know Yuu π
I'm sure there's more that I missed, please let me know!
but that's it for my "Yuu has a crush on Silver" headcannon lol thanks for coming to my tedtalk follow for more unhinged behavior
Heβd honestly be my type irl probably lol Iβd totally see why Yuu would fall for him,
He got really worried for us in Liliaβs dream too, unfortunately I donβt think I have any pictures of that but I do have this
Yuu is asking Silver for things heβd want, as itβs his birthday, and is close enough to ask them up frontβwhich they sometimes wonβt do and arenβt always a talker even though they get to talk during birthday events.
And in his PE outfit Iβm pretty sure he sword fights with them and compliments them as a beginner.
So they spend time together outside of classes as Yuu is a first year and Silver is a second so unless they share classes they meet each other of their own volition!
I wish he had more time togetherβwell, I actually need to catch up on book 7!
